Chiana, Farscape

Chiana (Gigi Edgley): In cult sci-fi series Farscape, Chiana was a sexually fluid/pansexual alien. She was a Nebari, a grey-skinned species whose society is heavily-regimented by a governmental body called “The Establishment,” though unlike the rest of her species she was characterized as having a strong sense of individuality; however, this quest for personal freedom was described negatively as giving her the “appearance of being promiscuous” and she attempted to seduce several main male cast characters during the series run.

In the Season 4 episode “Twice Shy”, she shared a connection with a female stowaway, Talikaa, when they were in her quarters and Chiana told her the clothes she had been given her made her look sexy. When Talikaa asked her what “sexy” was, Chiana told her that a girl as pretty as her shouldn’t have to ask that. She got suggestively close to Talikaa, saying that it makes you feel good to know men want you. “You like men for sex?” Talikaa asked, and Chiana replied that men are good for other things too, but great for sex. “Just men?” Talikaa asked flirtatiously. They were interrupted as they’re kissing or just about to kiss.

During the series run Chiana also had an ambiguous relationship with Hubero, an Androgen (the Nebari term for an intersex child).
